It's not been the custom for editorial writers to write in the first person. Our work is traditionally seen as the collective opinion of an institution that works in the interest of the community and the common good. Opinions were reached by editorial writers in adherence to the social policies we believed were most fair for all. When big things were on the table, the publisher and executive editor weighed in.
It's only recently that either editorial page in this newspaper has had just one editorial writer, and was called to upon to represent the policies of a newspaper that, consumed in a merger, no longer existed. That's been my job. But I'm shifting gears from that tradition today, my last day as editor of The Chattanooga Times editorial page. Before my retirement begins tomorrow and Pam Sohn takes charge, I'd like to recall the more recent history of The Times editorial page, and say goodbye.
I began to meet the editorial editors and writers who set the standards I've tried to follow while I was working my way through college at The Chattanooga Times. Martin Ochs, Gene Roberts, Norman Bradley, Michael Loftin and Pat Wilcox were my immediate predecessors and colleagues on this page before the merger in 1999 of The Chattanooga Times and the Chattanooga Free Press. Wes Hasden came aboard and served as associate editor on this page until last fall.
The Chattanooga Times' longtime local publisher, Ruth Holmberg, and the prior editors of this page always advocated large goals for the community. Though considered liberal, they didn't see issues through partisan lens; they were advocates of social justice and progressive policies that fairly helped all. That's been my standard.
In the march to civil rights, for example, The Times page argued vigorously for an end to school segregation, and for collaborative community partnerships in the throes of desegregation to dampen racial violence, promote inclusion, and find understanding and common ground.
The editors always argued for the protection of constitutional rights, and for support for equal rights in voting, political representation, education, and strengthened public schools. We've sought equity in myriad other ways: tax fairness, workers' rights and safe workplaces, environmental integrity and resource protection, health care, public safety and socio-economic reforms that advanced all income groups.
We've vigorously advocated downtown renaissance and redevelopment. That sounds easy now, but just a few decades ago, factories had closed, downtown was dead and frightening after office hours, and our air was rated by the EPA as the dirtiest in the nation. The path to urban and economic renewal and a higher quality of life for everyone wasn't clear to many.
In accord with many civic activists, we promoted preservation of the buildings that gave character to the city and kept its history alive. We pushed the rescue of the closed Walnut Street Bridge, slated for demolition, as the pedestrian bridge to creation of new parks and river walks. When philanthropist Jack Lupton proposed to build the Tennessee Aquarium, we countered the naysayers who lampooned both "Jack's fishtank" and the bold idea of bringing commercial life and pedestrians back to a dead downtown.
Before the Army surrendered the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant, some negative political leaders couldn't comprehend the vision of an Enterprise South industrial park, much less the notion of landing an auto plant and attendant new industry. They were proved wrong, and again so on revitalization of the Southside, downtown schools, a resuscitated foundry shell which now hosts the Chattanooga Market and festivals.
Bold, forward-looking city and neighborhood leaders, civic revivalists and generous donors and foundations nurtured all that has flowed from their collaboration and wise investments. But there yet is much to be debated, and protected, in the manner of growth that lies ahead.
I've been privileged to have a job, and a voice, in the public debates that attended such progress and the continuing community development that has been part and parcel of it. Along the way I've come to understand that our editorial pages are a public commons, akin to the debating places of our predecessors' village greens. We don't own them, really. We share them with readers and their letters, informing, affirming, learning from or challenging their views. Our work has been to put the news and civic issues in context, to give it relevance, and to expand on that by providing a place for columnists, guests, analyses and letters.
I won't miss the daily deadlines. But I do thank our readers. I will miss the share I've had in the public debate, and the loyalty of readers who look to The Times editorial page for our views, and who by doing so sustain this work. Pam Sohn will ably carry it on.
I will miss you! I have mostly but not always agreed and thats ok.
I bid you goodbye and hope you have a wonderful retirement. Your knowledge capable voice should never be silenced. Find a way to serve us underlings.
I believe you are on point and better than ever, repetition is how you get good at anything, so find a way.
Now edit this post...............
Thanks for your inciteful and even-handed commentaries, Harry.
Like Potcat, I ALMOST always found agreement with your comments but, given the predictable, neo-fascist shrieking on the other page, yours has always been the only voice worth listening to.
Happy trails!
Should have issued an apology first to hundreds of thousands around Memphis, for calling them racists.
So this is what Mr. Austins forced resignation is all about? He called some racists racists? Then they gathered their little minions to complain? soooooooooooo typical SOUTHERN. Those types did the same thing to control and destroy dissention in another era. The Civil Rights Movement. They went out of their way to destroy families, careers and the livelihood particuarly whites who supported it.
Stick to your principles, Mr. Austin. They can try and take every material thing away, but if you're principles remain intact, they can never neither harm you nor control you.
Godspeed SIR!
Magenta, do you have any idea of the issue that drew the racist comment from Austin?
Here's a quick recap, many around Memphis do not want to be in a combined school system with Memphis city schools. The issue is not racism, or just wanting to be separated from blacks. Several areas surrounding Memphis already have a good percentage of black residents, even higher when counting only to age 18. The issue is a bloated school system where hundreds of millions of dollars have been thrown away on practices that been shown to be failures, and statements by those in power in the city there, how "now we're in charge." It sounds like a money grab, at the very least, and at the worst, an attempt to equalize achievement by taking the higher achieving suburban areas down a notch. This should sound familiar if you keep up with the local system.
Austin, surely, knows all of this, but it's easier just to cry racism and segregation.
Farewell Harry Austin, this conservative will miss your wrong perspective. I did read your work everyday. Best of luck in your new life.
Yeah, right, laughing@Uboy. Just like they were once openly pitching a fit locally about busing inner-city students to that new school on that mountaintop?
I'm going to miss your voice and commentaries, Harry Austin. They've always been one of my favorite things about the TFP and I know the same it's true for lots of other people. . . I sure hope the fact that you're retiring doesn't mean that we will have to endure more David Brooks on the liberal side of the TFP editorial page. . . Anyway, I wish you the best and take care. . . P.S. - For the record, Harry, I've always agreed with your commentaries.
Maybe now you'll have time to turn your (wrong) answers into questions? Ronald Reagan used to be a liberal Democrat.
Sorry I forgot to add that of course this is purely for the good of the community, and even of yourself. Not partisan at all. And of course I wish you personally all the best in all good and harmless lines you follow. St John Calvin, pray for him.
See: EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! Principal Fires Guards, Expands Arts and Sees Test Scores Soar
Sources: NBCNews, Demungrnd, altnt org., legal news:
"Bott completely cut the school's security infrastructure and revitalized its art programs. Musical instruments were pulled out of locked storage and returned to classrooms. Faculty reopened dance and art studios that had been out of commission for years.
Within a year, the school already saw "significant increases in the numbers of students reading at grade level and the percent of students proficient on grade level math assessments." And within three, Orchard Gardens completely transformed. Not only have test scores and grades improved—students are also better behaved.
"We have our occasional, typical adolescent ... problems," Bott told NBC. "But nothing that is out of the normal for any school."
Orchard Gardens' refocus is emblematic of studies linking arts education with academic achievement. A 2012 study by the National Endowments for the Arts found that "At-risk students who have access to the arts in or out of school also tend to have better academic results, better workforce opportunities, and more civic engagement." Chris Plunkett, a visual arts teacher at Orchard Gardens is starting to see that play out."
Good riddance to a left wing propagandist who was always a cheerleader and apolgist for the Chattanooga power structure.
I'm just as happy as I was when Lee Anderson was shown the door.
Maybe there will be a little more objectivity at the TFP.

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Miami University is stepping up security at its upcoming graduation ceremonies.
University spokeswoman Claire Wagner says there have been no threats or safety concerns but the school is updating measures as a matter of good practice. She adds the changes are basically the same as those already in place for football games. All bags will be checked and attendees will be "subject to visual inspection of person, parcels, bags and clothing capable of concealing prohibited items."
U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, the Westwood Republican, wrote a strongly-worded blog posting Monday blaming the Boston bombings on "Muslim Jihadists" and accusing the Obama administration of trying to cover it up.
"These weren't a couple of disgruntled Methodists who set off pressure cooker bombs in an attempt to kill and injure as many infidels as possible,'' Chabot wrote on his blog. "They were Chechen radicalized Islamists who hated America, the country that had generously taken them in, clothed them, fed them and educated them."
Kevin Johnson, a West End business owner and aide to former council member Laketa Cole, didn't get the nominating committee's recommendation for a Democratic party endorsement, but he is running for Cincinnati City Council anyway.
Johnson will kick off his campaign at 6 p.m. Thursday at Sonny's All Blues Cafe, 4040 Reading Rd., North Avondale.
Johnson said, years ago, that is where he had a conversation with former Cincinnati mayor Dwight Tillery that "set my life on a different path. I trace my passion for public service back to that day."
Despite initially saying otherwise, Northern Kentucky University now says former Athletic Director Scott Eaton did improperly divert university funds for personal reasons.
Eaton was fired in March for having inappropriate relationships with four university employees and a student.
Cincinnati Council Member P.G. Sittenfeld and others will be on Fountain Square Wednesday at noon for "The Greater Cincinnati Day of Fasting."
Sittenfeld is asking residents to voluntarily forgo lunch in order to experience a small measure of hunger that's part of many people's daily lives in the city.

Meridian has created a $5000 touchscreen home media control center. I ran across the release on avrev.com and was pulled in by the price tag only to find more entertainment on the left side of this image. Oh my. Wait, which way to look? What are they showing off? A touch screen or sex?
Well, never the less. I was interested in find out more about the touch screen media center that cost way too much. Not much to read about it in actuality, an over priced media center.
But it did conjure up fond memories of my first apartment in the early '00. I, and I alone, that I knew of, had a home media control center. An old Intel P120 running FreeBSD with an ultra stripped down GUI. You know what that cost me, having 200 gigs of mp3s and movies. Networked to all the shared folder in our apartment and our neighbors apartment, able to access mp3s and videos over a 100megabit switched home network. With the box hidden away and a bright shinny new monitor to view. Contented to 30″ Sony for video and two 16″ JBL basespeakers and custom towers from my roommate. My control center cost me about $100.
Ok, it wasn't touch screen, but it was at least command line when I wanted it to be. Maybe we were special. We did have 11 computers in the apartment and we had LAN parties and 40oz all the time.
Well, a $5000 version better be damn nice, but you'll have to make that call.
Here is some info on it.
Oh wait, it is just a touchscreen. Oh ok, a touchscreen with a "CD mechanism". I think they mean a CDROM drive. A $5000 touchscreen CD drive. If you want to play music you'll have to shell out for Meridian's Storage One and Source Five.
Now I realize that I may not be the target audience for this product. And I realize that for that target audience $5000 on a fancy touchscreen my not be unreasonable. It is after all all about the perspective the size of your bank account offers you. But seriously, if you are going to shell out, why not get a Mircosoft Surface?
Well, at least it will keep the economy going.

Another show of hands for anyone who thinks Andrew Bynum would look pretty good in a Magic uniform today?

Howard, the always healthy and mercurial center for the Orlando Magic, is hurt and out for the year.
Bynum has blossomed recently as the Lakers' top gun with Kobe Bryant missing significant playing time with injuries. Bynum is meeting the expectations of a great player, instead of simply toying with his potential.
Now take a step back to mid-March, when the Magic and the Lakers reportedly had serious conversations about a deal that would have brought Bynum to Orlando in a package for Howard on the eve of the March 15 trade deadline.
Since taking sworn dispositions between the parties is impossible, there's no way to determine whether the Magic were truly considering this deal or perhaps bluffing to force Howard not to opt-out of his contract this season (see dueling diva issues with Kobe Bryant).
This much is true: Howard waived his opt-out clause, there was a few days of momentary bliss when folks like myself commended Howard for his loyalty, and then it's pretty much been a disaster from a psychological and physical standpoint since then.
I suppose there are more toxic relationships out there, but you will likely find them on Jerry Springer, bodyguards and fists of fury optional.
Bad relationships abound everywhere. Dwight and the Magic. Dwight and the coach. Dwight and the media. Dwight and the fans.
The most important aspect of any relationship is trust.
And it's shot everywhere you look.
And let's not make Howard the fall guy for everything here. How can Howard trust the Magic when some people in the organization are leaking tidbits of what are allegedly private conversations? There is a mole somewhere, and all that does is kill the trust factor between the team and the franchise player.
There are most certainly a number of fans still buying into the 'do anything to keep the superstar happy' philosophy, but I suspect a greater number of fans are just looking for a way out at this point.
It was a nice run. Seven years. An NBA Finals appearance and some great playoff moments. Dwight has been a force, winning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year three times.
Now his presence has become a bit of a farce. As our friends from Wikipedia say: "Farces are often highly incomprehensible plot-wise (due to the large number of plot twists and random events that often occur), but viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed."
Honk if that's the way you feel as a Magic fan trying to decipher all the quirky plot twists with Dwight and the Magic this season.
"Petulant child," one of my friends noted recently. "Magic fell for it. Should have let him go."
Sounds like it's time to embrace the memories, shake hands and take a forward-thinking approach.
Maybe it's Bynum. Maybe it's Kentucky center Anthony Davis. Maybe it's somebody else.
All the back-and-forth sniping in the last weeks, coupled with Howard's back surgery — although not deemed serious — changes the dynamics moving forward, of course.
The Magic will need to make a fairly quick decision — perhaps as early as the NBA Draft — unless they are willing to hop aboard the crazy train again for another ride.
Only this time, I suspect a good number of Magic fans won't be willing to punch their ticket heading toward dysfunction junction.
The smart journey either leads to a long-term commitment with Howard, or a divorce that probably should have happened long before everybody started throwing the fine china at each other.

Welcome to the warm side of life, Tanis! Next thing you know, I'll start gravitating towards purples and blues and then we know that something went wonky with the world!ReplyDelete
Well how could you NOT love this colour, it's perfect! These knits make me want to order all your stock of "Gold" immediately!ReplyDelete
May it's just this group of knits, but suddenly I am drawn to yellow, too. And I'm with you, I've never been a huge yellow fan, mainly because it looks horrible on me, though.ReplyDelete
If there's a yellow in a bunch of yarn my eyes usually zero in on it first. I don't know what it is about that colour but it just seems to draw you in.ReplyDelete
Adore those shoes too!
Gold is such a great shade of yellow, I'm not surprised! I'm not even a yellow person, but I find Gold hard to resist. Plus, it's a great hit of colour to contrast against so many others!ReplyDelete
Could gold be the new black (or blue?). I usually avoid straight-up yellow, too, but I am always drawn to honey or amber or butterscotch which I think are closer to the shade of your gorgeous knits.ReplyDelete
How fun to find a new found love for a color. I've recently fell in love with some colors that I never really loved, or noticed, as much before-- blue-greens and green-ish blues... loving aqua, turquoise, and emerald green colors lately.ReplyDelete
I love gold, especially in the fall and paired with other jewel tones. And really love sunshine-y yellows in the summer, it's just so fresh and cheery :)
It's a beautiful gold. Mix in a little grey as well and you'll have my fav colour palette right now.ReplyDelete
I love yellow and paired with other colors like grey or blue, it's always such a winner. BTW, those shoes are super cute!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for leaving me a comment! I love hearing what you have to say. I do my best to answer questions right here in the comments, so if you ask a question, be sure to check back because the answer might be here waiting for you!

Perhaps even more significant in terms of the broad impact of the alleged crimes was the trial of Philadelphia Monsignor William Lynn, accused of transferring pedophile priests to unwitting parishes to cover up their activities, and Rev. William Brennan, accused of raping a 14-year-old boy in 1996. The jury is in its second week of deliberations.
recently in connection with what at that point was his imminent departure on a 10,000-mile, three-nation Journey From Silence to combat child sex abuse by raising money and awareness.

Burick says he was repeatedly molested by an extended family member in 1982 at the age of 14. When he finally got the courage to tell his parents two years later, they refused to contact authorities.
We formed a connection because Burick stumbled across my blog posts on child sex abuse after the events at Penn State began rekindling his own horrible memories. I ended up quoting his account of what happened to him, using his name with his permission.
I didn't understand at the time just how significant all this would be to him and the stigma he had hidden from all these years. "To see my name in that article, to see those words in my own voice, I think that's when things started to pick up speed and change," he told me. That transformation eventually led to this epic journey aboard a little 50cc Honda scooter.
Since his departure in April, I've been following his adventures, mostly via his great photos and commentary at journeyfromsilence.com, with occasional emails thrown in. My primary goal in writing about it today is to encourage you to visit that site and see for yourself what an amazing trip it already has been.
His story has had a profound effect on many of the people he has met and many others who have followed his progress from afar. His most recent post explains that he's still in Texas, being warned that his original plan to ride through Mexico to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City, was too dangerous. An official at the U.S. embassy in Mexico told him that "recently, [the official] had to travel from Mexico City to the Texas border and had an armed escort of 50 men in armored vehicles." Traveling the same route alone on a scooter? Not a good idea.
What I really wanted, though, was to share part of another of Burick's most recent blog posts involving a family member who agreed to have Burick make public something that he said happened to him. With Burick's permission, I've included the photo that accompanied it.
This is incredibly painful and difficult for me to write about.
Out of nowhere, I received a text from my younger brother today. In this text he told me that he had also been sexually abused by the same man that sexually abused me. I was stunned beyond belief. I read it 4 times before I could process it.
This is the first time he's ever talked about it in 30 years. As soon as I was able to comprehend the text I started to cry… my head was spinning and it was hard to breathe. I called him immediately.
When? How? Where? etc., went the string of questions. Grief, anger, loss, rage, helplessness … my feelings were spinning out of control.
Why did I not do a better job of protecting him? I honestly thought for all these years that he was "safe"…that he escaped the abuse. Guilt, helplessness, more rage …
Then more things started making sense … I have another brother that had suffered a lot of similar problems that I suffered as a teenager … depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide. Then it hit me … OH, NO… not HIM too … Could it have happened to ALL THREE OF US?
It's been a tornado of emotions all day … it's 9pm at night and I am still spinning … it feels like a different world. For 30 years I thought my brothers were SAFE and I felt like I did a good job of protecting them … and somehow it feels as if I've failed. The reality is that I was 13 years old and there is nothing I could have done back then to prevent it.
There I am in the middle … I'm the tiger holding their hands … not feeling like much of a tiger at the moment. I know I could not have done anything to protect them … I was just a kid myself … but I'm the oldest brother and it's my job to watch out for my little brothers. Ironically, with my youngest brother Todd, he's the one who's been watching out for me in recent years … he's helped me countless times and in countless ways … Todd, I am sorry this happened to you. You didn't deserve it little brother.
You have my word that I will take this pain and transform it into something good for both of us. I am on a truly blessed journey and I feel like I have heaven and earth behind us …
I'm haunted by that photo. Maybe it's because with the faces covered, those children could be any of us or our own kids.
I know there are other victims out there reading this. I pray that more and more of you will find the courage, as Tom Burick did, to tear off your masks and confront your pain.
That's not just a journey from silence. It's a journey to healing.

Re: How can you not love this team?
posted at 1/15/2014 3:32 PM EST
Well it sure as h3ll beats that hollow 16-0 regular season where we had a bunch of meaningless blowouts. Ive always enjoyed watching good games and blowouts are fun once in a while but when you can pull out close ones time after time? Nothing beats that and we still have a chance to win it all same as we did in 07 and I actually feel better about those chances now but lets enjoy it, win or lose, its been a fun ride as I Imagined it would be. Will go a long way towards building momentum for us next season where we may be poised to Really make some Noise.

In response to coolade2's comment:[QUOTE]
This could be my favorite Pats team since 2001 (which will always be #1 in my book).
1. Other than Brady, the current team is a team of no-names from #2-53 who play as a unit and play hard. No go-to guys, no superstars, no names in headlights, just a bunch of guys who keep winning.
2. They have lost so many 1st team players and the subs come in seamlessly, make no excuses, ask for no quarter and give none. To review the bidding, this team lost Wilfork, Kelly, Mayo, Vollmer, Gronkowski, Welker, Woodhead, Hernandez for a variety of reasons for the full year, and many more for multiple games.
3. I have never seen a team with so many rookies (15, which is the highest number in the NFL) and free agents (10) playing major roles at season end, and playing to such a high standard. 8 more are 2nd year players. That's a total of 33 out of 53 players who have been in this system for less than 2 years. Astonishing!
4. This is one the most balanced Patriots team in ages; they can kill you by land or by air, they can defend and take your best weapons out whether by land or by air, and their special team is one of the best in the league. There is no obvious major hole on this team of youngsters.
5. Brady is having a season for the ages; I said it at the beginning of the season and I will say it again: this is his greatest year in a storied career as a leader of men in battle. This guy is truly a selfless leader, focused exclusively on winning, whatever it takes. How can that not inspire the whole team? His contributions may never show up on the 2013 stat sheet but this year was an amazing demonstration of resilience, leadership, determination, selflessness and will.
6. If Bill Belichick is not the greatest of all NFL coaches of all time, he is in the conversation. Sheer genius is what we saw this year. Even his biggest detractors are shaking their heads at what he has accomplished this year. 15 rookies??? 2013 has been simply brilliant!
7. Best of all, this team never gives up. It has won coming back from a deficit, it has won leading through the game, it has won tight battles. It just finds ways to win. Two bad refereeing decisions cost it two games that would have given it home field advantage all the way through the playoffs but they just take that licking and keep on ticking.
I love this team! Their toughest test is this coming Sunday and I have seen no evidence that this team will not prevail. Regardless, there is no doubt that they will leave everything out on the field. How can you not love that?
[/QUOTE]I will love them even more after they close the deal this weekend...
[/QUOTE]And then you will likely hold out for another win, I presume. We all want this team to win, and keep on winning, of course. But I am commenting on what I have seen so far. Broncos in Denver will be a tough challenge but the Pats have made a believer out of me. GO PATS!
[/QUOTE]The way I phrased it means I agree.... but.... the mission is not over. Interesting that you didnt mention the 2007 team that went 18-0. Because they didn't finish it off... right? And that is as much(or 10 times more) on the coaching than the players...
Just sayin the table is set for this team and coaching staff. being somehow even a little satisfied at this stage is too soon.

Due to injuries - it seems like the team has acquired the "underdog" role again. Who doesn't like the underdog?
I don't think it's my favorite team (yet), but it's been one crazy year to watch many of the exciting games we've had. If we win another SB, it would be pretty awesome.
[/QUOTE]Agree... One thing that i like is that the Patriots are the only team in football with injuries. Hard to think that other teams could stay so healthy. Being a first time underdog is whats making me nervous.How will they handle that.? Hope fully maybe a call or two ? Wink Wink !! Just don't know what will happen? If we lose.... oh boy ! Check all those bridges in Boston.Maybe the Charles river will get full. There is a better way .... They could suck like all the other teams that didn't win it all......Die hard fan !!!!

[/QUOTE]Agree with pretty much everything you said. I like this team a heck of a lot more. Hopefully they will go on to win it all but they have given us our money's worth and more this season already. I actually think they have a shot at winning it all. The Broncos, Seattle and 49'ers are all good teams but I believe this team can take any of them on even though they have less talent and experience. They are rightfully considered underdogs. An upset in the making.

[/QUOTE]I will agree to disagree. No point in holding back with how one feels about this team based on its accomplishments thus far. That does not mean my expectations are not as high as yours. They actually are. But I am a very happy fan of this team right now.

[/QUOTE]C'mon, buddy. You know you would love to be a fan of this team of warriors.
And if they don't win a Super Bowl this year, I will be disappointed but it won't take away my admiration for the team. I would look forward to next year when we will have an even higher chance of getting back to the big game. Do you doubt that that will likely happen?
Come on in, the water's fine. What has your team done for you anyway?

This is as balanced an offense we have seen since 2004. When the Pats had Waters I always felt that they had the players to run the ball effectively. I think the O Line is, to some degree, still built to run the ball effectively with FBs Develin and How making significant contributions. This sets up the play-action and other mismatches. BB has done a superb job this year and could easily see Collins and Ryan being huge factors moving forward.

[/QUOTE]Wow! I know they haven't won the SuperBowl in 10 years. I guess we all have a right to expect more but this team hasn't been a doormat for a long long time. If you are old enough, you know what it feels like to be a fan of a team that's consistently a laughing stock. I won't go over this team's record since 2001 but it's pretty impressive. This year's version has exceeded all possible expectations. The glass is more than half full. Enjoy the ride and be grateful for a team that gets you playoff bound pretty much every season.

[/QUOTE]I agree that this team has a strong running game to complement Tom Terrific, who is terrific despite a depleted receiving corps. The Waters reminder is a good one. Cannon and Mankins are driving big holes, and Develin is a very good full-back.

Great to see mostly all super positive Mojo on this thread! This is one of the best teams in recent years and it would be so nice to see "Papa John" throw up his pizza on Sunday. (It still amazes me what kind of sicko personality get's off busting stones on an opposing team's forum.) Whatever.
There were some close wins this year but look at the losses. Each of the 4 Losses were by 7 Points or Less. I am very proud of this team.

I sent an email on 2/6/2010 to the general contact email address on the Contact Us page, but have not yet received a reply, so thought I would try here.
I purchased and received Love/Knot two weeks ago. I have the documentation to show that it shipped on 1/27 and arrived on 2/1. I collected it from the post office on 2/2 and sat down to open and read it on 2/6/2010. On page 122, there appears to be a printing error. A fairly large smudge/blob appears over Emiya's face in panel 3. It almost looks like a gray marker was scribbled over the face. I'm fairly sure it's a simple printing error.
I was wondering if it may be possible to request a replacement copy, and return this defective one? As someone who tends to keep the hard copies of books I like for long periods of time, it would be nice to have a print-error free version for future reading enjoyment.
Please let me know if this can be done and, if so, what documentation and such I need to send you to facilitate the exchange. I'm unsure if the email address I used was the appropriate email to send to, so please let me know if there's an alternate email I address I should use.
Thank you in advance for your consideration! I'm a big fan and supporter of June!

Delaware State University has shut down its entire band for the remainder of the semester, and it all stems from allegations of hazing.
Those allegations seemed to come as a surprise to students on campus.
Delaware State University's 150-member marching band can be seen strutting its stuff in YouTube video from homecoming, but it has been silenced for the rest of the season.
Band members who spoke with FOX 29 News anonymously were vehement in their denials of any wrongdoing.
Instead, they expressed hurt, anger and frustration that they will have to sit out the final home football game next week.
University spokesperson Carlos Holmes says they received a few reports of alleged hazing incidents a little more than a week ago.
Since then, the university and campus police have launched a full blown investigation, though they would not comment on the exact claims.
Whether it's minor hazing or some of the more serious forms of hazing that can cause serious injury, it's not permitted on this campus.
Holmes says he cannot recall any other recent hazing allegations. He made it clear that kind of behavior will not be tolerated, even if it changes the tune of the next home game.
FOX 29's Jennifer Joyce had more reaction from DSU in this video report.

What is a logic model? This tool captures a program in a graphic format, clarifying activities and outcomes and communicating the anticipated results to the funder. Many federal, state, and foundation grants request applicants to submit a logic model as a part of a grant application. Building on principles from Grant Writing I, you will develop a complete logic model for your program that will support both your grant writing and grant implementation efforts.

Utah offers an array of excellent rivers for fly fishing. This class is a chance to get out and try the sport in a beautiful high mountain setting. Designed for the novice, this basic hands-on course explores the art and mechanics of fly fishing, including equipment, safety, knots, entomology, and, of course, casting. We will learn some basics in the classroom then travel to a local river for the day to test our new skills.
You are responsible for providing your rod and reel (can be rented at local fly shops), fishing license, sack lunch, sunglasses (essential for eye protection), and either waders and boots or clothes and shoes that can get wet. A selection of flies and other tackle will be provided for our river day.
This class is limited to 10. To register or for more information, call 801-587-LIFE (5433) or visit lifelong.utah.edu.

Delicate, yet hearty and palette pleasing, mushrooms add texture and flavor to a variety of cuisines and dishes. But which of the thousands of species of mushrooms is edible, and which will kill you? We'll begin to learn this important distinction in class, where we will discuss the basics of mushroom hunting, which mushrooms in Utah and surrounding states are edible, and of course, cooking with mushrooms. Our field trip will take us to the Uinta mountains, where we will hunt for boletus edulis (porcini), chanterelle, agaricus campestris (button), and morels. Field trip transportation is by carpool.

Vehicles with Consumer Reviews
The Tundra has been significantly updated for 2014 with a more ergonomic interior and a freshened exterior that includes a higher hood and replaceable bumper panels. The Western-themed 1794 Edition joins the top-line Platinum model. Its name is derived from the founding date of the Texas ranch where the truck's factory now resides.
Toyota's Entune infotainment system makes its way into the Tundra pickup for the 2013 model year. In addition, the TRD Rock Warrior Package is now available for Limited models.
The Tundra is Toyota's entry in the full-size truck market, a segment long dominated by GM, Ram and America's best-selling vehicle, the Ford F-150. For now, the revamped 2014 Tundra remains competitive, especially when fitted with a 5.7-liter V8. But in today's world, power isn't all that makes a model king. Even among full-size trucks, fuel efficiency is becoming just as important as firepower. And this is where the Tundra's luster fades. For its 2014 update, Toyota did little to address the Tundra's aging and thirsty engines. While competitors introduce potent V6 powerplants and 8-speed transmissions, the Tundra soldiers on with the same powertrains. The truck remains a workhorse with stellar resale value, but faces an uphill battle, especially with an all-new F-150 around the corner.
